A startlingly effective and provocative drama, La Mission is about more than a father's battle to overcome his homophobia, it's also a powerful story of the redemptive power of love. Jessie hasn't had the easiest of lives, having to deal with the loss of his mother whilst trying to carve out a life as a gay man in New York's infamously volatile 'barrio' district. But things are about to get a lot harder when his homophobic father, Che (Benjamin Bratt) gets released from prison. Initially reacting to Jessie's revelation with violence and fear, Che is soon forced to... choose between his old sense of pride and his love for the only thing that really means anything to him in this world - his son.

Benjamin Bratt stars in this drama directed by his brother, Peter Bratt, about a tough San Francisco man attempting to come to terms with his son's sexuality. Che Rivera (Bratt) knows how hard life can be. Having served time in prison, battled alcohol addiction and lost his wife, he has taken plenty of knocks. His love for his high-achieving son, Jesse (Jeremy Ray Valdez), keeps him going and is his chief source of pride. When Che discovers that Jesse is gay and has a boyfriend, Jordan (Max Rosenak), he is thrown into crisis. His neighbour, Lena (Erika Alexander), attempts to mediate between Jesse and the angry Che, encouraging the latter to overcome his prejudices and accept his son for who he is. Will Che find a way to reconcile with Jesse?
